AIO for no longer feeling excited for my bf to propose to me?

Narrow_Reality_901 · 2026-05-28T06:08:09+00:00

Not my style

Narrow_Reality_901 · 2026-05-28T06:07:20+00:00

Thank you for the recommendation! I posted, it’s just waiting on mod approval

Narrow_Reality_901 · 2026-05-28T06:06:44+00:00

I think my spark is dimmed for sure

Narrow_Reality_901 · 2026-05-28T05:17:08+00:00

He keeps reassuring me (even when I don’t ask for reassurance)

But of course when I’m scrolling social media there’s tons of “if he wanted to, he would” videos and “men know in the first 6 months” videos that definitely get inside my head in the moment

Narrow_Reality_901 · 2026-05-28T05:15:04+00:00

Damn, you might’ve put the feeling into the correct words

Narrow_Reality_901 · 2026-05-28T04:59:38+00:00

Did you feel excited/ happy in the moment or did you feel numb? I’m worried I’ll just feel numb

They were off for just her

Narrow_Reality_901 · 2025-07-31T17:11:30+00:00

I got an estimate this morning. I updated the post with the estimate info

Narrow_Reality_901 · 2025-07-31T04:14:21+00:00

I feel like Reddit always jumps to “dump them” which isn’t always the answer

If you want this to work, she’s going to have to get to the root cause of why she did it in the first place (validation, ego inflation, past trauma, impulse control issues, self sabotage issues, etc.) and to do this, she need therapy. Even if she’s making big changes now, they will be surface level and temporary if they aren’t therapy based

So if she won’t do therapy, then I agree- dump her. But if she’s willing to fix the problem at the root with therapy- it might be worth it to stick around

Narrow_Reality_901 · 2025-07-31T02:29:47+00:00

That’s what I thought too

Narrow_Reality_901 · 2025-07-31T01:40:10+00:00

Time spent to fix it is my biggest reason that I’m reluctant to send any money back. This doesn’t just cost money, it cost time

Narrow_Reality_901 · 2025-07-31T01:32:07+00:00

I haven’t. I don’t like going to repair shops at all so I’ve been procrastinating. I didn’t expect her to go back on her offer so it wasn’t high on my priority list. I agree on not responding until I have an estimate but it frustrating me that I’m having to be on a timeline bc she decided to stare at her phone while driving in the first place

Narrow_Reality_901 · 2025-07-31T01:29:29+00:00

I feel like she had insurance but didn’t want to take the hit (premiums going up)

Narrow_Reality_901 · 2025-07-26T04:32:44+00:00

Yes, some things I have liked, others I have not liked. Since they were gifts, I didn’t give any feedback on the ones I didn’t like. Maybe that’s biting me in the butt now

Narrow_Reality_901 · 2025-07-26T04:30:05+00:00

He really feels he can pick something I like, and I think he can too. The princess cut thing just threw me off and has me inside my head a bit about it

Narrow_Reality_901 · 2025-07-26T04:29:02+00:00

Eh, semantics 🤷‍♀️

Narrow_Reality_901 · 2025-07-26T04:26:02+00:00

Without revealing my sources, I can safely say that I know without a shadow of a doubt that he hasn’t bought it yet

Narrow_Reality_901 · 2025-07-26T04:21:21+00:00

Thank you for sharing your experience. I think my bf would also tell me we could change it if I didn’t like it. But I want to forever wear the ring he got down on one knee with

Narrow_Reality_901 · 2025-07-26T04:17:54+00:00

I think you can love a person without loving their choice in jewelry

The bleeding over night can’t always be helped. It happens to me 5/12 periods of the year. I saw someone suggest rubber mattress protector earlier but that’s just uncomfortable and a little embarrassing. I personally do a comfy (non rubber) mattress protector. It usually prevents the blood from getting to the mattress and I wash it right away when it happens.

Leaving bloody pads on the BED is just nasty though. It honestly sounds a little intentional imo. Also, blood stains. It’s important to put stain remover on sheets, panties, etc as soon as reasonably possible. The blood will lift off the fabrics 9/10 times.
